Rishabh Pant 

Rishabh Pant, the Indian cricket team’s wicket-keeper batsman, and Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela have been at loggerheads for quite some time. Both are launching attacks without naming the other. Meanwhile, another of Pant’s posts has gone viral. 

Rishabh Pant has posted on his Instagram story. The post said, “Don’t worry about what you can’t control.” This story is quickly going viral. He has not named anyone, but this story is linked to the ongoing saga involving beauty queen Rautela.

Rautela’s interview led to the controversy. She claimed in this that Mr. RP (Pant) had come to meet her in Delhi on several occasions. She stated that RP asked me to meet and waited for 10 long hours. I was asleep, and when I woke up, I saw 17 missed calls from RP. 

Speculations began after this interview that the actress had used RP to refer to Rishabh Pant. Following this, Pant’s story went viral. In which he wrote, “Leave me, alone, sister.” Don’t lie just to gain popularity. Pant deleted this story in a matter of minutes. Don’t look like this feud will end soon.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Dhanashree Verma, Yuzvendra Chahal’s wife, has been engaging in unusual Instagram activities. Dhanashree removed the word ‘Chahal’ from her Instagram username which led to fans and followers raking up a storm about their marriage hitting the rocks. Her previous username was ‘Dhanashree Verma Chahal.’ 

On the other hand, Chahal shared a story on Instagram stating: New Life Loading. In the story’s background, there is coffee and a few cookies. However, it is common for celebrities to announce a new phase in their lives on social media platforms. As a result, this message could signal the beginning of a new chapter in Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree’s lives. But many interpreted the Chahal’s story as the couple parting ways.

This was not the end, many on Twitter claimed that Verma was a gold digger and used the spinner to get fame and followers on her YouTube channel. Twitterati flooded the social media space with memes of all kinds which took direct digs at Chahal’s wife. Many users claimed that Chahal will soon be single and offered sympathy in the wake of his wife allegedly using him and not being in love for real.

While Chahal was trending on Twitter for a considerable period of time, hawk-eyed folks also mentioned on the micro-blogging site that Shreyas Iyer was the reason behind the rift between Chahal and his wife. So far, no statements have been issued either by Chahal, his wife or Shreyas Iyer on the shocking matter.

The above listed controversies were the prominent ones that grabbed headlines and sent many in a tizzy. Usually it’s the showbiz folks who grab all the attention but now cricketers have become the cynosure of attention not for their brilliant performances on the field but for their shocking love affairs which turn into headline grabbing controversies. If there was a Page 3 in cricket, the above listed cricketers and their controversies would have made the cut.
